The Department of Acute Kidney Injury (IRA) of the Brazilian Society of Nephrology prepared this document for the purpose of standardizing AKI terminology and dialysis modalities in the Portuguese language for Brazil. Several terms with similar meanings have been used in AKI and its dialysis modalities, causing confusion and disparities among patients, nephrologists, health institutions, private care companies, insurance companies and government entities. These disparities can impact medical care, hospital organization and care, as well as the funding and reimbursement of AKI-related procedures. Thus, consensual nomenclature and definitions were developed, including the definitions of AKI, acute kidney disease (AKD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Additionally, we addressed all dialysis modalities and extracorporeal procedures related to AKI, currently approved and available in the country. The Brazilian Society of Nephrology hopes that this Consensus can standardize the terminology and provide technical support to all involved in AKI care in Brazil.
巴西肾脏病学会急性肾损伤（IRA）部门编写了这份文件，目的是为巴西的 AKI 术语和透析方式提供葡萄牙语的标准化。AKI 及其透析方式中使用了几个含义相似的术语，这导致了患者、肾脏病医生、医疗机构、私人护理公司、保险公司和政府实体之间的混淆和差异。这些差异可能会影响医疗护理、医院组织和护理，以及与 AKI 相关程序的资金和报销。因此，制定了共识性的命名法和定义，包括 AKI、急性肾脏病（AKD）和慢性肾脏病（CKD）的定义。此外，我们还讨论了目前在巴西批准和可用的所有与 AKI 相关的透析方式和体外程序。巴西肾脏病学会希望本共识能够标准化术语，并为巴西所有参与 AKI 护理的人员提供技术支持。
